AUSTIN, Texas — Camp Waldemar, located in Hunt, was directly in the path of the July Fourth flooding. A leader at the camp received a text at 1:30 a.m. alerting them to the danger.

Camp owner Meg Clark told lawmakers their staff were on high alert throughout the rest of the morning and they did move some canoes—but they didn't move their kids out of the cabins.

Though, they didn't need to move their kids. Clark testified at a Texas House of Representatives Culture, Recreation & Tourism committee meeting on Wednesday.

"All of our camper cabins, which are located above the river, did not take any flood water," Clark said.

Camp Waldemar is close to the Guadalupe river but the cabins are on a bluff above the river. FEMA data shows those buildings are not located in any flood zone .
